Area widget

The Area widget opens when the current tile is showing an area.

The commands included in the area widget are recursive, meaning that they apply to all the entities that are members of the selected area. Click on one of the commands to view a menu of commands you can pick from.

The area widget commands are described below:

Intrusion detection areas Apply commands to all intrusion detection areas that are members of the area:
NOTE: Some commands might be unavailable if you lack a necessary privilege, or if the command is not supported by your intrusion panel.
  • Arm: Click to hide description
    Arms the selected intrusion detection areas. The following options are available:
    • Master:
      Arms all sensors in the intrusion detection areas. Any sensor can trigger the alarm when activated.
    • Perimeter:
      Arms only the sensors designated to be on the perimeter. Activity on sensors inside the areas, such as motion detectors, is ignored.
    • Instant:
      Arms the areas immediately.
    • Delay:
      Arms the areas after a delay. If you do not specify a duration, the panel default is used.
    • Arming mode:
      • Normal:
        Arms the intrusion detection areas normally. Areas with active or troubled sensors remain disarmed.
      • Force:
        If one or more intrusion detection areas are not ready for normal arming, this option forcefully arms the areas. Force temporarily ignores active or troubled sensors during the arming sequence. If an ignored sensor ever returns to a normal state while armed, future activity can trigger the alarm.
      • Bypass:
        If one or more intrusion detection areas are not ready for normal arming, this option automatically bypasses active or troubled sensors before arming the areas. Sensors remain bypassed while the areas are armed. Disarming an area removes the bypass from sensors in that area.
  • Disarm: Click to hide description
    Disarms the selected intrusion detection areas. Sensor activity in the areas is ignored by the intrusion panel.
  • Trigger intrusion alarm: Click to hide description
    Triggers an intrusion alarm in the selected intrusion detection areas.
  • Silence alarm: Click to hide description
    If there is an active alarm in a selected intrusion detection area, stops the siren on the intrusion panel from beeping. Depending on your intrusion panel and the type of alarm, clicking Silence alarm can also acknowledge the alarm.
  • Acknowledge alarm: Click to hide description
    Acknowledges the active alarm in a selected intrusion detection area.
